In his annual Christmas message Manitoba Lieutenant Governor Philip Lee notes the spirit of this festive time traditionally brings people together with family, friends and neighbors to celebrate the season.  He says customs and cultures may differ from one home to another but each tradition uniquely reflects the timeless themes of love, peace and goodwill.  Lee adds as Manitobans, we are very fortunate to live in a province where diversity is valued, respected and encouraged and our citizens are free to celebrate as they wish.
